Notis

Bring a message attachment into a workflow

Pass a file URL with the message request and let Notis retrieve the file content for the next step.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Download File

Tool to download a file given its URL. Use when you need to retrieve file content and obtain an s3key for subsequent upload tests.

Why this helps

A file link in a conversation can be hard to move into an app workflow without opening and handling it manually.

  • Retrieve content from a supplied file URL
  • Prepare an S3 key for a subsequent upload action
  • Reduce manual file handling

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then give it a name and choose a report channel.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to download the file from the request URL and use the returned content or S3 key in the intended next step.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file URL that you can access.

Questions about this workflow

Does downloading the file store it in Bubble?

No. Download File retrieves the content and obtains an S3 key for subsequent upload tests. Use a separate upload action to store a file in Bubble.

What does the request need?

It needs a file URL that the download action can retrieve.
